Instructions for installing and operating bipolar generators for incandescent lighting.
A 34-page technical manual issued by the General Electric Company in 1894 to instruct electricians and plant operators in installing, wiring, and maintaining bipolar dynamos for incandescent lighting. Halftone plates show machine parts on shop benches alongside flat line schematics of field magnets, commutators, brushes, fuses, shunts, and rheostats, with labelled leads and arrows marking current direction, useful as period diagram vocabulary and industrial machine drawing.
